paul moy 235 Posted November 15, 2009 On the basis of their performance at Southampton, they could inflict a home defeat on us on 24th Nov. Gus Poyet, in his first match, has obviously done a good job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

paul moy 235 Posted November 15, 2009 [quote user="Mr. Bump"]I don''t fear Brighton at all[/quote]I didn''t either until I watched this game today. They looked very much up for the fight, were great on the break, and could have won by at least another two goals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bury Yellow 2 Posted November 15, 2009 I agree with you totally Paul.The players look as if they have every confidence in the future and rightly so. This happens many times to a club that gets a money man in, gets plans for the go ahead of a new stadium and then at last gets a decent Manager.They certainly look up for it. The team has been in the doldrums for a long time and we could be playing them just at the wrong time.Mind you with Miracle Lambo, we have every confidence!

Daphne 0 Posted November 15, 2009 I''m sure I wasn''t alone in expecting Southamton to walk all over them today. I will be surprised if we look as good at St Mary''s next week! And then we are following up with Brighton at home 3 days later! KTF!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am a Banana 0 Posted November 15, 2009 it was the managers 1st game- i can remember roeders 1st game (2-0 down to ippy at half time and drew 2-2)gunn (beat barnsley 4-0) its because it was the gaffers 1st game! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boyo 0 Posted November 15, 2009 I didn''t watch the game today but by the sounds of it they played some good football. If they play good football agaisnt us then I think we will walk all over them. An open game suits us perfectly, and I hope they come here and try to beat us because this season at Carrow Road if that happens we will steam roll whoever comes our way. The way to play agaisnt Norwich is to put 10 men behind the ball. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Barclay hero 0 Posted November 15, 2009 Brighton have underachieved to date - many pundits had them as an outsider to be promotedI think we should respect Brighton - and for that matter Southampton - but not fear them. In terms of results influencing our matches I think Southampton will be stung - but Brighton are unlikely to get a second decent result away to the relegated clubs from last yearI think a draw will be a reasonable result on Saturday - though a win is possible - and I cant see us losing to Brighton. The only fixtures that I am genuinely uneasy about are Millwall, Huddersfield and Charlton away - we are capable of beating anyone at home Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Attleborough_Canary 64 Posted November 15, 2009 I have to say that Brighton played fairly well but Jaidi(sp?) for Southampton was appalling, slow on the ball, poor distribution and tried to over complicate. If he plays like that against us, Holt will have a field day. Defensively Southampton were terrible! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canary Man of Kent 0 Posted November 15, 2009 Saints and Brighton would both seem likely to be tough.Under gunn I would''ve expected maybe 1 point, but with lambo in charge 4-6 is a realistic possibilty. In my opinion 4 points would be an excellent return.Rather than fearing Brighton as a result of this match, I fear that saints will be stung into a good performance against us.

BlyBlyBabes 0 Posted November 15, 2009 As nutty said, respect - not fear - is the name of the game.We''ll see.I''m optimistic - although I can smell a turnover or two in the air when winter sets in.My prediction? A draw at Southampton followed by a thumping win over Brighton on Tuesday night. Wish I could be there.[:''(]OTBC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Robert N. LiM 4,002 Posted November 16, 2009 Glass half-empty, Mr Moy?Our next opponents lose heavily at home to a team near the bottom. Surely the first conclusion to be drawn is that Southampton (a) isn''t quite as difficult a fixture as it might have appeared, rather than that Brighton (h) suddenly looks impossible.For what it''s worth, I would also predict a draw at St Mary''s and a comfortable win next Tuesday.

Bovril 214 Posted November 16, 2009 I sincerely hope that Jaidi plays next saturday, I have never rated this bloke and although he wins his fare share of heades is such a liability and I am always pleased to see his name on the opposition teamsheet, we had a fantastic away record against Birmingham mainly due to him!Were certaintly going to have to watch the saints who have some quality players (lambert, lallana, connoly, antonio with the long throw) but they seem shaky at the back, which is not unusual for pardew teams Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
